RELATED: What is lisinopril?
How much does lisinopril cost without insurance?
A 90-tablet supply lasts three months if you take lisinopril once daily. At the current average cash price, that works out to about $952 per year without insurance. Your actual cost may vary by pharmacy, dosage strength, and quantity.
If lisinopril is too expensive, ask your healthcare provider whether a lower-cost ACE inhibitor, such as benazepril, may be appropriate. Other blood pressure medications include angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and alpha blockers. Do not switch medications without consulting the prescribing healthcare provider.
Over-the-counter medications, supplements, and natural remedies should not be used as substitutes for prescription treatment for hypertension or heart failure.

Is lisinopril covered by insurance?
Most commercial health insurance plans, Medicare Part D, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid will cover lisinopril if it is prescribed for qualifying medical conditions. Because it is an inexpensive generic medication, lisinopril may be placed on a lower-cost formulary tier. However, coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and may depend on the formulary, copay or coinsurance, and whether the deductible has been met.
How to get lisinopril covered by insurance
It is uncommon for an insurance company to reject a lisinopril prescription for an FDA-approved indication like high blood pressure. One reason coverage may be denied is if lisinopril has been prescribed for an off-label use, such as migraines or protein in the urine. If coverage is denied, ask the insurer whether a prior authorization or formulary exception is available. The prescribing healthcare provider may need to submit a prior authorization to explain why lisinopril is medically necessary.
How to get lisinopril without insurance
Even though lisinopril is relatively inexpensive, paying full retail price can add up over time. Manufacturer patient assistance programs, coupons, and rebates are less common for generic medications like lisinopril. A 90-day prescription may not always cost less per tablet than a 30-day prescription. The following strategies may help lower the cost.
1. Take advantage of a SingleCare savings card
A SingleCare discount card can lower the cost of lisinopril. At current prices, 90, 10 mg tablets may cost as little as $7 with a SingleCare coupon and available member savings. Prices can change by pharmacy and over time, so check SingleCare’s lisinopril free coupon page for current prices. SingleCare coupons are free to use. Members save even more, and it’s free to sign up.
2. Find community clinics or other resources
Some community health centers and other 340B-covered entities may provide lower-cost prescription medications to eligible patients. The federal 340B program allows participating healthcare organizations to purchase outpatient medications at discounted prices. People without insurance can ask their healthcare provider or local health department about community resources that may help reduce prescription costs.
